LIVONIA — The Town Board met at Vitale park in Lakeville but the bigger story was the vote in approval of moving forward with the Stream Bank Remediation Grant.
The vote now allows Town Supervisor Eric Gott to sign the contract for Livonia to take the lead role in the reinforcement of five stream banks that feed into Conesus Lake. According to Gott, Geneseo and Conesus have now officially agreed to support the project.
"The next step is to sign the contract," said Gott. "Now we will send it back to the state and get the ball rolling."
The involved town highway departments will do the labor on the project and the land owners were required to sign variances to allow construction vehicles access to the streams.
The project will cost the Town of Livonia over $300,000 but much of that money will eventually be reimbursed by state grant funds.
"I don't think this is work that can wait," said Board Member Angela Grouse, "We need to move forward."
